Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON, May Goth, 1887.
Soldier boys from Puget Sound, Texas
New Orleans and other points have al
ready arrived. and thousands of others
are bowling along v the railroads on
their way to Camp George Washington.
The latter name is the christening that
the camp will receive or next MOI day,
when the drill will be formally opened.
At the camp ground no drum has beat
yet, but the %reveille is sounded by the
lively ring of hundreds of hammers.
The busiest scenes are around the base
of the Washington Monument. Scores
of men are at work there putting down
plank floors for the tents. Nearly all of
the Monument grounds will be approp-
rated for this purpose. Scores Of car
penters are also working hard on the
grand stand in the Drill Enclosure from
which the contest will be viewed. The
Drill ground is probably the finest piece
of grassland which could have been
found for the purpose in the whole coun-
try. 1t is now entirely enclosed within
a board fence twelve feet high. There
are about ten acres of green as smooth
and fiat as a tennis lawn. The plot
is oval and the grand stand extends just
half around it. From this the view is
very fine whatever way you look.
To the southwark the white marble
monument.-the highest in the world
glistens in the sunshine. The view
northward is particularly fine. To the
left the magnificent War, State and Navy
Department building, and to the right
the solid, old, granite. Treasury while be-
tween the two the White House smiles
through groups to tall green trees. The
Corcoran building, Albaugh's Theatre
and the Panorama building ofthe battle of
Bulls Run are all near by, and although
rather to far for perfect satisfaction the
roof of any of them would afford a clear
view of the entire drill ground.

An ARTESIAN WELL.

A supply of water, natural or artificial,
is nm absolute necessity to the population
and prosperity of any locality. Many
portions in this and other countries have
been abandoned, and still lie neglected
and unimproved, simply because a suf-
ficient supply of this necessary product
could not be secured. In portions of
California, Idaho, New Mexico and
Arizona, large tracts of land, rich in
mineral resources, have lain for years
Idle and unproluctive because water in
sufficient quantities was not available for
mining purposes. Other parts of these
same territories would afford an excel
lent range for stock, except for this one
deficiency. 1t has been proven by tests
in other places, and it is more than
probable that these immense tracts of
valuable territory might be rendered
productive by the Use of artesian wells,
Hitherto the cost of wells of this
character has prohibited their use, par
ticularly in new localities where their
success had not been demonstrated. The
many improvements made in machinery
for performing this work, have removed
this chief cause of objection; hence we
are confident that if the advantages and
economy now available were thoroughly
understood, that they would be much
more generally employed, So important
has become the work of boring wells foI
water, gas and oil, and ore prospecting
and testing lands, for coal, iron ant
other minerals, that the inventive geniuI
of the age has been turned in thi
direction; hence a number of machine
have been perfected for this purpose,
The wide extent of deposits of natura
gas, which are being discovered in man,
parts of the country, demonstrates tn
fact tha' the territory of this supply i
much wider than anticipated In man,
instances, at a depth of a few hundre'
feet, an important supply of natural ga
has been found. This new fuel an
source of light is attracting c%onsiderabl
attention as the advantages of its use ar
readily apparent.

Horse Talk.

The whole secret Of training a horse is
to be sure that he understands what 1t is
you want him to do before chastising him
for not doing it; if you are convinced
that he knows, and yet will not do it
then correct him severely in such a
manner that he will remember it-and
repeat at once the order, making the
horse comply with it before proceeding
to anything else. If, however. he is
stubborn and becomes unruly it is some
times better to put him to something
different and take his mind entirely off
before trying him again, lest by too much
punishment he become vicious.
Horses are, by nature, nervous, sensi-
tive and fearful; they are endowed with
as keen a sense of injustice as a human
being, and their memory is wonderful.
Thus the harm done while they are
young is never forgotten by them, and
can rarely be effected BY later care and
teaching.
Too much whip is worse than too little
whether applied as a stimulant to speed
or as a correction. But when you have
cause to use it, do it 30 that the horse
realizes that you mean it, and remem.
bers the punishment next time he is
about to do the same thing. A horse,
like a child, is spoiled by constant nag
ging," but improved by occasional meri-
ted punishmentiudiciously administered.
1t is far easier to spoil a willing horse
than a lazy one; the former realizes that
he has done his best and that it does not
satisfy you; he sees that you urge him
still a little more; whip him when he
has made every effort In his power, and
he becomes detected and %sullen, often
obstinate and unwilling.
No matter how often a horse may be
driven, when it is put in the stable the
harness should be removed and the horse
well rubbed. We should much prefer,
if our horse were to be groomed only
once a day, to have it done when put in
the stable after the days work than have
it done in the morning before using. The
grooming of the horse after working
should never be neglected.-Farm and
Garden.

Some Great Falls "boomer" is adver-
Using that the Great Falls Stage COM

one considers the important fact that Mi

and that for a distance of four hundred
miles there is not a habitation of any
kind, the statement made by this "boom-
or" IS a little the widest we have ever
met with in this bow and arrow country.

The foreman in charge of the Edison
dynamos running in st. Louis has made
the discovery that water may be used TO
advantage in keeping down the tempera-
lure of Journal boxes, and to the cNclu-
sion entirely of friction casing oils. For
oyer two months now they have been
using nothing but water on the journal
of the two dynamos, and with the very
best of results. In comparison with the
oil using period the pillow blocks exhibit
a marked difference when touched by the
hand. Formerly they were too hot for
anything like continued pressure of the
hand, while now they arc comparatively
cool OF all times. The journals also show
a greater advantage, that brightness of
surface denoting friction having given
way to a duller and more nearly natural
color of metal.-Boston Transcript.

Report OF the Suicide of a Tough.

The Independent is informed that
George Bell, who was sent to the pen
itentiary a few ear ago from Gallatin
county, to serve II sentence of fifteen
wears, who escaped shortly after and for
whose apprehension a large reward has
lately been offered, committed suicide n
few months ago at Red Wing, Minnesota,
by shooting himself with a pistol. rhe
report comes to us seemingly well auth
cnticated, though it, perhaps, cannot he

Many believe that owing to the large
area of coal, which development has
proven to exist underneath the whole
district surrounding Bozeman, there must
also be gas here, and it is the purpose Of
a company, now being formed, to drill
to the depth of 1000 feet with this OBJ
iect in view. However, should gas not
be reached at this distance it is not alto
gether unlikely that coal oil will be found.
But leaving out both of these, a supply
of artesian well water, that could be
utilized in extinguishing fires, and leave
untapped the numerous creeks and
| bitches, will surely be secured, and the
money invested by those who now in
tend to use it as m experiment solely,
will bring large interest by the disposal
of the wells product. AS we have stated
above the cost of such a well is very
cheap, and a supply of water is always
in demand; 80, leaving out all other con
s~iderations, the company now organizing
are sure of success from this source.

informs us that the capital of Dakota is
"too dead to skin" Ten-room houses
go vacant at a rental of S. per month,
